Events raised by dialogs, documents, forms or graphical controls can be linked to macros, which is referred to as event-driven programming. The most common method to relate events to macros are the Events tab in menu and the Dialog Editor Control properties pane from menu.
Graphical artifacts, keyboard inputs, mouse moves and other man/machine interactions can be controlled using UNO listeners that watch for the user’s behavior. Listeners are dynamic program code alternatives to macro assignments. One may create as many UNO listeners as events to watch for. A single listener can also handle multiple user interface controls.
Listeners get attached to controls held in dialogs, as well as to document or form events. Listeners are also used when creating runtime dialogs or when adding controls to a dialog on the fly.
This example creates a listener for Button1 control of Dialog1 dialog in Standard library.

Listeners are usually coded along with dialog opening. Numerous listener approaches are possible such as event handlers for dialogs or event monitors for documents or forms.
